Ages ago, Amanda Marcotte at Pandagon posted this amazing post:

The liberal-feminist view of sex is that it's not a war or a game, but more of a mutual collaboration, less like a battle and more like playing music. In this model, to be a sexual person is to be a musician and sex is playing your instrument. Sometimes you play by yourself, sometimes you get with others and jam, and sometimes you actually have a band that you have a long-term relationship with. There aren't winners and losers, but there can be good and bad sex, just like there can be good and bad music.

I link it here because it needs to be linked more.  They changed sites (they're now at pandagon.net), so it's harder to find, for some reason.  But oh goodness, read that post.  She compares the liberal-feminist view of sex (playing music) to the conservative view of sex (playing basketball), and I adore it.

Have I mentioned already that I love words?
